These are all tell-tale signs that you’re trying to explain something that doesn’t really need explaining. They’re also the kind of annotations that get rejected en masse. Choose lines that are already interesting, at least when starting out — it’s a much safer strategy.

Going along with this, don’t EVER use the phrase “X is saying” or “X says” or any variation of that. Just start your annotation from after that. Be confident in your annotation if you really think it’s right! Especially if you’ve got support to back it up.
